Low-Hour Private Pilot
Fantastic. I continue to be impressed with King School videos, and I rate them as top of the industry. Although extremely, extremely experienced pilots and trainers themselves, John and Martha present the material to inexperienced pilots like myself (less than 100 hours) in a manner that is easy to understand and digest. I find that just as I am asking myself a question about the materia, they ask and answer the question themselves. They seem to anticipate what new pilots need to know; they still understand what it is like to be new to aviation and hungry for knowledge. Their presentation is positive and good-humored, showing that not everything in the cockpit has to be stressful. Outstanding use of graphics as well to help illustrate the points. Well done, Kings!

Lots of Signal, Little Noise
The Kings concisely explain how bank and yaw make for a centerline landing, without a lot of superfluous fluff. My new nugget of knowledge came from Martha's answer to "How do you know when the xw is too strong?" Answer: When you run out of rudder. Never heard that. I guess I thought it was wing scrape?

I think that a lot of pilots fear the crosswind component of landing an airplane, but once you feel confident like this course instills and you are confident in what you need to do, the fear resolved, and the challenge is no longer a challenge.

Xwinds Torque yaw in rotation?
I liked the video. I watched this because I was wondering if there was any information about torque yawing when rotating. I always find left crosswinds are easier because the yaw from rotating helps straighten the nose to be aligned with the centerline. In a right crosswind I would try to rotate slower so to not have much yawing in the rotation. This was for C182 which I used for my commercial training.
